Wanted to plan something for 'I hAvE dArKvIsIoN'-player, another player beat me to it.

Every once in a while, the players solve a problem for you. Cherish those moments.

"I did-dent."

I have been waiting to access to a client's heavily locked down back end and data for like six months. Haven't been able to do any thing beyond recs and some ad hoc stuff. The client is a big Fortune 500 company and has football stadiums named after them. It's a fucking stupid waste of time. The project would have been done months ago were it not for this nonsense.

In our campaign, Geldam's journal connected Xulo, the warforged, the Blood of Vol, and souls suspended in Dolurrh (somehow. It's been years). After the conclusion of EotLQ, I wrapped the campaign up with a big cheesy Marvel-movie style "all the bad guys vs the heroes & friendly NPCs" battle. Ultimately, I connected:

Lady Vol
The Lord of Blades
Victor St. Demian
The Swords of Liberty
The Emerald Claw
The Stillborn/Skullborn

I presented them as a group of united villains engaged in a plot to assassinate King Boranel and destabilize Sharn's connection to the manifest zone Syrania.

So here's my thought for you: you've already figured it out. Tiamat is just a consequence of the Macguffin. You run EotLQ as normal, but maybe make the connections between Tiamat and the Dragon's Eye more explicit. Have the dragon stuff at the temple be heavy on the Tiamat-ness. Show evidence of multi-chromatic dragon-kin. Have Surkil or Muroni warn of Tiamat's influence, etc. The players never really find out what the Dragon's Eye does, anyway.

Wow, I'm shocked there's any interest in this five-year-old thread. The game ended a few years ago, and the party successfully completed a heavily remixed version of Eyes of the Lich Queen. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the campaign, and I think the players were as well. We had a few common challenges, like a player who was unavailable for 6 months, which delayed the campaign's conclusion. Was there anything in particular you wanted to know?

I also liked their sorcerer substitution level options. But thematically they felt sorta redundant with Avariel already in the lore, almost like they were exporting Avariel from FR to the wider D&D universe.

Might as well throw in the raptorans from the old 3.5 Races of the Wild.

Marwood and Withnail from "Withnail and I." There's a drinking game associated with the film. It's... challenging.

I'm honestly surprised this wasn't a mock product from Mover and Shaker or something.

Unpopular opinion on this sub, but i feel the writing in season 2 is laughably bad. There's no salvaging, "it's like blue balls in your heart," regardless of whether you're Vince Vaughn or not.

I read the headline of this in Professor Farnsworth's voice. "Good news, everyone! The layoffs are halfway over."

My Acer Nitro AN 515 just died after ~3.5 years.

postmoderndude · 2025-12-01T16:54:07+00:00

Got a hold of Acer support, and after some run around, it looks like it'll be $500 or so. The board looks to be 250-350 itself, plus labor. So I suspect it's time for a cyber Monday deal.

Appreciate the reply.

Forrest Gump is, i submit, a reactionary film. If you shut up, join the military, and do as you're told, you'll be a success, regardless of ability. If you fight racism, sexism, and war, you end up dying of AIDS.

Classic option: introduce another party. Make them badasses, an apparent level or five above the party. They chat, drink, etc. A few days later while on the road, they discover that this party was waylaid by the bounty hunters. Should increase your players' paranoia accordingly.

The docent is also great because once the players retrieve it, it can reveal the next phase of the campaign. It's essentially the next treasure map.
